Is there a way that I could write to a .txt file online in UTF-8 or UTF-16? I have a login script and I would want to maybe make a script where you could message people… in normal applescript or ASOC.
Or… can people help me post onto a xml with curl through applescript…
If you can mount it as a volume on your mac, you can easily access it thru applescript. Then you could locate the file, and start writing!
It depends on how you are trying to message people. Are you using iChat? Or are you actually trying to write to a file in an FTP folder on the 'net?
I want it to seem like there is no volume on Finder mounted. I have a .txt file on the internet that I want to write to. I want to not see anything.
The info is on a .txt file on a FTP server (I don’t know the password or username) and I use my iDisk to change things.
No hope? Is there another method?
I’m still unclear on why this is necessary. Wouldn’t iChat (or some other chat program) serve your needs better? And if you don’t know the username or password, you wouldn’t have access to the FTP directory anyway. There is no way in Applescript to bypass the security of an FTP site.
You need to restate the problem, from the beginning, and be clear about the functionality you’re trying to get before anyone here can help you. You can’t get the help you need by just giving us crumbs of information, which looks fishy to me. It’s as if you want to access something you shouldn’t be accessing. If I’m wrong, I’m sorry, but that is just my “first impression” given the (lack of) information you’ve given us.
I have the username and password somewhere in my Documents folder, it will just take time to find it.
